Cómo resolver el rompecabezas del uso de la tierra en Brasil

The document argues that Brazil's agricultural expansion has historically occurred at the expense of native ecosystems, specifically noting that nearly 65 million hectares of forests and savannas in the Legal Amazon were replaced by pastures and cropland since 1985. To shift away from this horizontal expansion, the authors suggest four interventions: designating undesignated public forests as protected areas to stop land grabbing; using the Brazilian Forest Code to facilitate payments for environmental services on private lands; investing in sustainable intensification technologies for medium and large properties; and providing technical assistance to small farmers to improve livelihoods and reduce deforestation pressure.

• Since 1985, agricultural expansion in Brazil's Legal Amazon has resulted in the loss of nearly 65 million hectares of forests and savannas, which were replaced by cropland and pastures.
• The authors propose four specific strategies to decouple agricultural production from deforestation: designating public forests as protected areas to curb land speculation, implementing payments for environmental services via the Brazilian Forest Code, investing in sustainable intensification for larger properties, and providing technical assistance to small-scale farmers.
